Sachtler System FSB 16T Mk II Hot Pod

This FSB Mk II system with Hot Pod carbon fibre tripod blends classic functionality, modern performance, and unique elevation, giving you the stability and control to capture the shot with confidence.

Supporting payloads up to 16 kg (35.3 lbs) the FSB 16T Mk II offers 15 steps of counterbalance allowing you to finely match your camera rig and quickly dial in balance time after time. 7 steps of Sachtler drag ensure smooth movement at all speeds and in any environment, while the Touch & Go platform allows one-handed mounting of the camera into a preset position, so you're always ready to capture the next shot.

FSB Mk II brings the classic features and proven ergonomics of Sachtler to smaller camera setups. With smooth drag and finely tuned counterbalance, it delivers the repeatable performance professionals rely on. The fluid head has a traditional tiedown design, and its illuminated PrismBubble gives fast, all-angle confirmation that your shot is on the level helping you set up quickly and shoot with confidence.

The Sachtler Hot Pod 14 Carbon Fibre Tripod with Pneumatic Column gives you a lot of height fast. At the touch of a button, its central locking system allows all three tripod legs to be clamped or released at the same time. The pneumatic central column lifts the camera to a lens height of over 2 m (6.6 ft), ensuring you get the best view in the house. Packing up and changing position is made simple and easy with the ergonomic carrying handle.

Tough enough for the field, refined enough for the studio. FSB Mk II is engineered with premium materials and precision components for smooth operation in any environment. This Hot Pod system is easy to carry and built to go wherever your work takes you, delivering performance under pressure.
